the destroyer of worlds Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 They left it late, but Neverloosen wins. Bayern loss to Dortmund now puts the gap at 13 pts. 7 matches to go. I think it is safe to say: Ding dong, Bayern's consecutive championship run is done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkNuk Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 4 hours ago, runningback33 said: Man City 0 Arsenal 0 FT One of the commentators referred to the game as a "damp squib". Which is an expression I've never heard before. So I turn to Merriam-Webster: The meaning of DAMP SQUIB is something that is disappointing because it is not as exciting or effective as expected. I dunno. I thought the game was entertaining enough. Granted, no goals. But both sides had chances. And I thought a draw was a fair result based on the play. So, with nine games left, Arsenal has to continue winning games and hoping for a LIverpool (and Man City to be on the safe side) slip up against one of the lesser teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gap is 16 points with only 6 matches remaining. The title could be wrapped up next weekend. Leverkusen has a few tricky matches left including Dortmund, Stuttgart, and Frankfurt.

This was already used in the 2022 World Cup and in the Champions league. The Prem has significant requirements of their member clubs for broadcast tech. One of the reasons why Luton had to start on the road so they could meet some of their minimum requirements.

RupertKBD Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Not sure if anyone else is following the Wrexham saga, but the lads have gained promotion once again: A lot of things had to go right for this to happen....Wrexham had to win over Forest Green, which they did in convincing fashion, 6-nil. They also needed losses or draws from MK Dons and Barrow. The Dons scored first at home, but then conceded 4 times to Mansfield, while Barrow were shut out 3-nil away to Gillingham.... On to League One....which puts the Welsh side two steps away from the Premier League... https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/soccer/wrexham-gains-promotion-to-english-soccer-s-third-division/ar-BB1lz8j1?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=754f2e09ee3541c4ae30bfc3d222dd3e&ei=32 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
